GOAL RULED OUT! Dennis thinks he has equalised for Watford and wheels away in celebration but the flags goes up for offside and it’s ruled out! Sarr flicks the ball on as a cross comes in from the right and it then falls to Dennis at the far post, who produces a superb finish from a tight angle to beat Raya.

CHANCE! Eriksen chips a lovely free-kick over the top of the Watford defence, catching the hosts off-guard and it falls to the feet of Toney, who only has Foster to beat from a tight angle. However, his strike flies just wide of the post. That was a great chance to make it 2-0!

The opening to the second half has been quite cagey from both sides, with neither team able to get the ball down and control possession.
